"It's elegant in its simplicity,"
declared the judges in selecting the
graphics decorating UAlbany's University
Police Department vehicles as a second place
winner in Law and Order
magazine's 2007 International Police Vehicle
Design Contest Winners competition.

UPD was honored in the Federal or State
Agency division of the competition, winning
a commemorative plaque, $75 for the charity
of its choice, and 25 free copies of
Law and Order
magazine. A photo of the UAlbany police car
was featured in the August issue of
Law and Order
magazine, along with the judges' comments
and a photo of the car.

UPD's design team included Assistant
Chief of Police Thomas Kilcullen, Captain
John Canto, and Sgt. Robert Krichbaum.
Larosa's Automotive of Rotterdam, N.Y.,
created and installed the graphics package.

The University at Buffalo, SUNY, came in
first place in the same category.
